A person named ‘Abu Hafs’ entered Iran some time ago to create terrorist groups inside the country, the intelligence minister said.

“A person named ‘Abu Hafs’ entered Iran some time ago to create terrorist groups inside the country,” Alawi said, adding that the intelligence forces have been able to foil the plot.

He also noted that the security forces have arrested “different terrorist groups that have been sent by enemies for acts of sabotage and bombing in the country’s sensitive locations.”

“Their facilities and information were confiscated, members were arrested and despite the supports the (foreign) espionage services have provided for Daesh (ISIL), they have failed to foment insecurity in a single corner of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the minister added.
